Summary Introduction

To determine: The amount of fluid which filters from the capillaries of the heart in every beat if average heart rate of Person B is 75 beats per minute and net capillary filtration rate is 3.24 L/day.

Introduction: The amount of fluid which moves out of the capillaries in a specific time is known as capillary filtration rate. It occurs due to hydrostatic pressure that forces the fluid to move out of the capillaries. These fluid moves out through gap junctions with leakages. The periodic contraction and relaxation of chambers of the heart is known as a heart beat.

Heart rate FIRST 10 sec post-exercise: 130 bpm Heart rate LAST 10 sec post-exercise: 97 bpm How are the heart rates different? How would you expect this to change the appearance of your ECG graph?
Blood pressure at the arterial end of capillaries is about 40 mm Hg in humans. If blood pressure at the venous end is about 15 mm Hg, and colloid osmotic pressure is 25 mm Hg throughout, what is the net effect on fluid movement between capillaries and tissue spaces?
When person is standing quietly, the pressure in the capillaries of the feet can reach as high as 100 mm Hg. Why do the thin-walled capillaries not rupture when exposed to such a high pressure?
